The strap is an easy fix.
I would think it easy to include an extra rubber Diver strap, and that would no doubt look great on this watch. I agree on the buckle, and would think tantalum would match best.
In 2007 I tried on an Orchard Road Offshore. It felt like the heaviest strap Offshore I had held at the time. Definitely more than a RG Rubberclad.
I dig this new watch, easily my favorite version of the Diver collection so far. Thanks Fernando!
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore End of Days
Earlier today, Mark in Paris posted on Audemars Piguet's newest Offshore, the Royal Oak Offshore Diver made for the brands relationship with the Hong Kong Jockey Club for the Queen Elizabeth II Cup. It is readily apparent from the reaction of our collecto...
Yes, my friend, an iconic piece, one which nobody will forget.
I cannot remember all the " special " ROOs, but this one, yes! A Holy Beast, with a lot of character. Enjoy! Best, Nicolas
Yes, lots of character with the End of Days.
Certainly one of the most identifiable Royal Oak Offshores.
You are hurting me Michael

Fernando, I look forward to your thoughts on the QEII.
I am rather smitten with it. A dear friend offered me an Orchard Road some time ago. I passed on it but think of it here and there. AP does tantalum very well.
QEII
I had the chance to see it over the week-end and I think the tantalum and RG works very well in this combination It is heavy as expected and I would think it equals platinum if wanting a comparison. The finish of the case, especially in this material is e...

My pleasure Michael.
Try and see one if you can. The tantalum has such a nice feel and the charcoal grey colour is like nothing else. IMO the grey rubber strap from the MS LE would look great on this piece. :) That and a tantalum buckle! cheers fernando
The mother of all ROO LE...
and this is the one, the menacing and memorable one. Thanks Michael for sharing with us a beautiful memory :)
My pleasure Wayne.
AP has provided so many wonderful creations for us. It says a lot that we can look back to older examples and still keep them in the same class.
